The “why in the world have you not found a home” crew.

These babes are all easy peasy and would do well in most homes. We are shocked they are still with us.

Please share.

Not sure you want to commit to adopting? Perfect, we have a foster to adopt or just foster programs. And we would love to help you find your match.

Let’s talk about underdogs. This crew is the definition. Each of these kiddos has some quirk/s that is preventing them from finding their forever home. We are looking for some needles in the haystack. Please help us find them. These long timers are not meant to live their lives with us. They are good dogs/cats who have preferences or specific needs. We know their people are out there.

Full bios on our site but more info on each pic.

Our crew had so much fun at Rosie's Place, over the weekend! We are so grateful to be partnering with them. Keep an eye out for future dates that we will be there but stop by and see them. Support those who support rescues. We couldn’t do what we do without partnerships like this!

Oh and someone please adopt Perry. Seriously. He’s such a good dog. A do**us, yes but he loves dogs and he loves kids. He may try to crawl into your body for snuggles but he can cure any grumpy mood with his silliness. Dude won’t get in a kiddie pool but giving him a bucket of water and he will act like he’s the swimming champ.

We will be at Rosie's Place TOMORROW (Carmel location from 11-1pm) enjoying some mimosas and sunshine with these doll babies (Benny Buttons, Dallara, & Perry) for their amazing Pooches on the Patio!

With patio locations open at all their spots in Noblesville, Zionsville, and Carmel -- treat you and your pup to a delicious meal 😋

Happy Saturday!

Just wanted to take a minute to note a couple of things and explain so you all know where we are coming from when the answer is “no, we can’t”.

1. We aren’t taking animals from out of state. We don’t see this changing any time soon. We know they need help. However, Indiana shelters are bursting at the seams. Bringing more in to an already struggling area and ignoring the ones in our own back yard just isn’t something we can do. We see the posts and tags. We aren’t trying to intentionally ignore but there is only so much of us to go around. And having to say “sorry, we can’t” is not only frustrating to the person asking but you can’t imagine how devestating it is to have to do time and time again. Daily. Especially knowing that that “no” could be the final one that seals a helpless soul’s fate. We feel that every day. We think about the ones we couldn’t save. But we do have to focus on our own state, first.

2. We are not taking owner surrenders. People get really salty about that. We understand there are genuinely some dogs/cats who do not work in some homes. The vast majority of what we get asked to take are not those situations. Not to mention the lies people tell to absolve themselves of guilt that put our volunteers in danger. Not everyone but it’s happened more than it should. And if an animal is in a shelter, their risk of euthanasia is more immediate. So we choose to focus our energies there.

3. We are not taking in strays. We have made exceptions to this that have really bit us in the b***y. We are not a city shelter or open intake. Our stray hold is longer than theirs. Many Indiana counties require 14-30 day stray holds. That means we are footing their bills and if an owner turns up on the day before their hold is up, they are not obligated to pay us back. And we are never going to let their needs be unmet. Or, they are clearly a not so great home for the animal, the shelter has authorities we don’t have to possibly not return. Lastly, if the owners are looking for their pet, they aren’t always looking at every single rescue in central Indiana. They are probably going to their local shelter, first.

We have gotten some really nasty response to saying no, lately. Quite frankly, we aren’t going to deal with it. Each of our crew is a volunteer, who donates their time to give love and care to animals people have considered disposable. I’m sure every other rescue has had the same issues. We are doing the best we can to put a dent in a never ending problem. If you aren’t able to do anything else to help, that’s fine but at least be kind.

If any of you hear that I was a jerk, just know it was only in response to one of these nasty messages and it’s probably true. 😘

Meet Rufus!

One of our usual hospice fosters, Brittany, reached out and asked if she could take this boy. It’s rare that we tell her no and I’m sure you all know we are suckers for old, raggedy dogs whose only fault is they haven’t gotten what they needed from humans. Rufus was to be euthanized on 6/12 so we worked on some details and got this kiddo to her.

Why is he so cute?!? Those fish lips 😍😍. Rufus is about 8-10 years old, super skinny and currently only eating a specific brand of wet food. Brittany has a thing for committing to pups and then finding out they have been on a hunger strike. Rufus has a vet appt on Monday for some bloodwork and overall check up. Until then, he’s soaking up the love and napping in a comfy bed.

As always, if you want to help with our never ending vet bills, adding ways to do so! We couldn’t do it without you all.

We shared Remi a little over a week ago. He was a super skinny 5 week old babe who ended up in a busy city shelter. We are happy to report baby boy is packing on the weight he needed! He still has a couple more weeks before he will be available but he is doing well. He thinks he’s a cat, sometimes but otherwise, he’s learning how to “puppy”.

This shy little thing is Dallara. She’s an 8ish month old shep mix and is learning all about what being a dog means. Playing with her dog friends and when you’re a little unsure of the world, you can count on a human to scoop you up and walk through it with you.

Ps- she’s only shy for about 47 seconds. Then, total ham.

Up until the last week-ish, we hadn’t been pulling many animals. We have to get our vet bills paid down and had to get some fundraisers on the calendar. We also have several long timers that we need to place. Luckily, we’ve had some fosters step up that allowed us to save some lives. We’ve just had to be careful about taking on major medical cases, at least for the time being.

I took a walk through IACS, the other day, specifically looking for a dog that would fit in to one of our fosters. I feel like this is how all the stories begin. 🤣

Well…..they have crates set up everywhere. On our search, we were standing in the office and one of the workers was holding this insanely cute, very underweight puppy. He was all by himself and as long as they let me, there was not a shot in hell that he was staying there. My daughter looked at me and said “he’s coming home with us, right?” Yes, girl, he sure is and somehow he magically ended up in our kitchen.

Remi is about 5 weeks old. You can see every bone in his poor little body. The day after we took him, vomiting and diarrhea started and progressed very quickly. If you’ve ever smelled a “parvo poop” you’ll know what I’m talking about when I say, I was SURE that’s what it was. We went to the ER and thank goodness the test was negative. Vet thinks it’s just an overwhelming amount of parasites. Too much for his already malnourished body to handle. We got some meds and he is on the mend. Now that he feels better, he is getting spoiled by Aunt Vikki and learning how to be a puppy, free of sickness and crates, in a noisy shelter.

If anyone would like to help out on his bill or any of our other kiddos’ bills, I’m attaching a link. We appreciate you more than you know!

UPDATE- because you all are freaking amazing, I think we will have more than enough! We will share with other groups if we get more than is needed. THANK YOU!

Got a message that 10 puppies were “found” under a shed. Shelter was positive they were lying but babes needed to eat and the shelter couldn’t accommodate 10 puppies. We couldn’t either. We committed to 5 and luckily, another group agreed to the other 5. The owners (yes, that’s a dig. I’m petty) said they fed them human baby formula. 🤦🏻‍♀️ They are 5 days old and cute little nuggets but it would have been even cuter if they just spayed their dog prior to having puppies they didn’t want, but here we are.

We had one large can of Esbilac left from the last crew. Amazon only has the 2 pack in stock. We realize that might be a bigger expense than anyone may want to donate so I’m not going to put a link, here. But, if anyone could send any (maybe from chewy or just if you’re in the store) we would be grateful! If you can and can let us know, please do so we can plan accordingly. ♥️ And send us all the good vibes.

Ship or drop off!

Kitten season is in full swing.

TOP PRIORITY: get your cats fixed!

If you are ahead of the game on that, we could use some help with supplies.

We were able to help with 16 moms/kittens, yesterday and are working on getting some more fosters home set up. Can you help us with any of our wishlist items?

Of course, kitten wet and dry food is a priority but any of the other items help greatly, as well!

Thank you to our fosters and all of our supporters for assisting us in saving these lives. 😘

CANCELLED!!

We didn’t get enough sign ups but will try again, at a later date!

05/21/2024

This list came from ONE shelter today. Unfortunately this is the norm not the exception. The chances of kittens surviving in a shelter are not good. We need fosters. This list makes me sad. Please help us. If know anyone who might want to play with some kittens for a bit this summer, email [email protected].

05/21/2024

Need 7 more sign ups by tomorrow or we will need to cancel.
